USB UART Click is an accessory board in mikroBUS form factor. It's a compact and easy solution for adding serial UART communication via USB cable. It features an FT232RL USB-to-UART interface module as well as USB Mini-B connector. USB UART Click communicates with a target board via UART interface. The board is powered with 5V power supply, but is designed to use 3.3V or 5V I/O levels (selectable via SMD jumper, default position at 3.3V). It has a green LED that indicates the presence of power supply. The board also contains RX (yellow) and TX (red) LEDs that indicate the transmission and reception of data via USB.

The board can be used for RS232 communication with modems, printers, PC applications, and various devices that use UART communication protocol.

mikroBUS Click Boards Overview

Click boards come with header pins that you must solder yourself. After that, they just plug directly into a mikroBUS socket. mikroBUS is a specially designed plug-and-play pinout standard. Newer (v7) development systems manufactured by mikroElektronika, which we carry, have mikroBUS sockets already built in.

You also can connect Click boards to many other popular platforms via these adapters:
